Chapter 649

Roxanne could feel the air growing still right then.

Needless to say, it was because of Lucian.

Roxanne clenched her fist and told herself repeatedly not to turn around and watch. She wanted to pretend that

Lucian was not there at all.

His question had made her squirm uneasily. At the thought of his out-of-place confession. Roxanne was worried that

he might make more unreasonable demands.

Meanwhile, Jack frowned when he saw that the driver was running late.

“Let me make a call,” Jack said as he took out his phone.

The next moment, Lucian’s voice rang out. “Since Mr. Damaris’ driver is going to take some time, I could send you

home if you don’t mind, Ms.Jarvis.**

Roxanne tensed up once again and turned around immediately to reject his offer. “That won’t be necessary. I’ve

already made the arrangement with Mr. Damaris. Feel free to leave first if you’re in a rush. Mr. Farwell!”

Then Roxanne scurried to Jack’s side.

She did not wish to be alone with Lucian, afraid that he might say anything that would cripple her defenses, or

worse, entrap her again.

Roxanne had not seen Lucian’s trick coming in the morning, and that served as a lesson for her to be warier of him.

Noticing that Roxanne was about to run away and scurry off to another man’s side, Lucian reached out to grip her

hand once again. “Didn’t you say you won’t run away. Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne paused in her tracks and lowered her gaze. After she straightened out her rambling thoughts, she turned

around and met Lucian’s gaze calmly. “Mr. Farwell, I’m grateful for your kind gesture. But I don’t wish to trouble you

further since it’s already quite late. I’ll just head back in Mr. Damaris’ car.”

Having said that, Roxanne noticed that Lucian was staring at some place behind her.

She did not know what he was staring at. However, the two men behind Roxanne were already staring right back at

Lucian.

After some time, Lucian averted his gaze and said, “Is it truly that much trouble? I’ve given you many rides, Ms.

Jarvis. Isn’t it aliule too late to say that you’re troubling me? Or are you saying that you feel more comfortable with



Mr. Damaris, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne stared at the man incredulously.

First, it was Larry, and now it’s Jack. What the hell does he tani?

If any other man were to say that, Roxanne would surely think that the man was jealous.

However, the man standing before her was no other man.

Lucian would never be jealous because of her.

Besides, she was not in that kind of relationship with Jack.

Roxanne could understand it if it came from the drunken Jessica’s mouth. However, to hear it coming out of Lucian

was an insult.

Even if she were not to dwell on his dubious confession, Roxanne could not believe that the man who had just

proclaimed his love for her would say something like this to deny her efforts.

“It just so happens that my place is along his way. Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Farwell.” Roxanne said as she

tried her best to suppress the boiling rage inside of her. “How are you different from Ms. Hightower if you say such

things?”

Roxanne could feel the grip on her wrist tighten right after she said that.

The pain made her wince. However, she gritted her teeth and continued, “I have worked very hard to secure this

collaboration with Mr. Damaris. You can always come up with a myriad of ways to humiliate me if you must. But

please don’t belittle or deny my effort in this matter!”
